It’s hard to imagine a better way to start the school year than with a blessing by the spiritual leader of our Archdiocese, and the encouragement of our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Edmondson. She reminded the students how fortunate they are to attend such a wonderful school.

Archbishop Lori challenged the students to make this the very best school year ever. He spoke about the importance of loving one another and being ever mindful of God’s love for us. This tied in perfectly with OLPH School’s spiritual theme for this year.

Mr. Pellechia introduced the theme from the Gospel of Matthew, “You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment.” Archbishop Lori closed with remarks about his own vocational discernment then led us in prayer with a Hail Mary and offered his blessing for a fruitful and productive school year.

“OLPH is an excellent school. We couldn't have chosen a better school and not just because of the great education and faith of God, but the love and kindness of everyone at OLPH.”

We chose OLPH because of its academic excellence and how faith formation isn't just another subject that is tacked on, but pervades all aspects of OLPH. Also, the teachers seem well supported and model Christ like behavior and love. My kindergartener said "Isn't OLPH the best school in Maryland?!" I asked why and she remarked "The teachers are just so loving and they always praise God there."

"I wanted to make sure I told you how happy I am with how my son placed at Mount Saint Joseph High School. He has landed himself in all honors classes and I could not be happier. While I encourage him to work hard, his drive to do well is something he has learned from his years at OLPH School and for that I will always be grateful to the education he has received at OLPH."
